Is Big Brother Watching Us on My Lot?

I would be surprised if they weren't monitoring us. The outrage has left because most people are just used to it now. Privacy is a hard thing to come buy these days. Everyone wants to know everything about everyone. That is the problem when we think can't trust no one anymore. It makes people paranoid for the better or the worse. Plus people are just nosey and should mind their own business more.

I'm sure they are monitoring it to some degree, but just think. Over 6 billion people in the world, many of which have internet and use these sites, even if they could narrow it to just posts from US locations. Think of how many Americans are the biggest losers who sit around all day and post every facet of their life online. "I'm having ham and eggs for breakfast." How about all the spam, "Radical China doesn't eat pork" repost this if you don't like illegal immigration law. Lets see there's roughly 300 million people legally in the US. Homeland security, the CIA, and FBI combined probably have roughly a few thousand people employed to watch online activity. There's probably 24/7 man hours of internet babysitting per 1 million people. This has to be used to stop real threats like school shootings, terrorist attacks, and assassination plots. You really think they're spending a lot of time reading the post of every way right birther who thinks Obama is a terrorist and has to post about it every day? Even as dumb as people are I doubt there's a lot of post on facebook about committing crimes with likes from all their friends. So, yeah they might be able to check them, but realistically they probably aren't wasting their limited resources to do secret political polls or profiles of non high risk individuals based on online rants.

I would imagine they would be, I guess it would be a good way of picking up on information, sad that they have to do it but for safety reasons with the extremeists around these days, probably they have to.

First, I was outraged. Then I realized that until we as a people change the Federal government, in other words, hold them to their oath, hold them to the Constitution, this is what we have to look forward to. How do you like that? I think I used 3 watch words! Woo HOO! I made the list!

Hear our elected officials sit around watching nastiest on their computers for lack of any thing better to do. No need to comb social sites the bad guys are under their noses....ROFL

If they're monitoring for certain keywords cropping up, I bet this discussion just got flagged up.

I think sometimes people just give up. There should be an outrage, I agree, but I'm surprised at how many people don't believe anything is wrong. Then there are those who think that "they" are just going to use our protests against us. As for me, I've been outspoken for so long, there's no use hiding now, but what can one do, in reality?

Most countries have such departments - mostly several departments - all tripping over themselves in the process. They spend the most time watching each other. We don't have to worry because all this free, public information is now so damn secret that they can't tell anyone about it!

That would be great to see a clip on CNN about mylot being watched for terror threats. They would be undercover with a regular username, and just be mylotting along with us. I can actually see it happening. They have their hand in everything else, so why not this? Very funny stuff, pork?
